Pros: Stylish bar/ lounge, great location at the base of Cockburn Street right in the old town. Direct access to lots of wonderful places to eat ( try Devils Advocate, Ecco Vino, Lailas) and little independent shops . Probably the most comfortable nights sleep I’ve ever had away from home.

Pros: The location is excellent, both for seeing the city, and for transport (the airport bus stops 100 meters from the door, and the Waverley station entrance is not much farther

Cons: AWFUL WiFi- we resorted to paying roaming charges on our mobile phone b/c we needed to get online. No phone in room to call to lobby? Very little lounging furniture-even an extra armchair or loveseat would be nice. Name 'Motel One' cud be better:)

Cons: Temperature in room (306) always seemed on the cool side and didn't improve when air-con turned off. Tricky to locate light switch on bedside lamp during early hours of morning. I found it easier to get out of bed and use main light switch. Smoke alarm on ceiling emitting red light hard to ignore whilst trying to get to sleep as directly in my line of vision. Eating breakfast while sitting on low chairs and using low tables is not for everyone.

Pros: Spacious suite living room, separate half guest bath, Decent breakfast with separate order menu, gym had free weights to 30kg, location is on royal mile down road from castle (but for Christmas markets and shopping, a princess street hotel would been better), overall friendly staff.

8.8 Excellent

Pros: The property was very well situated in the city, excellent location. Nice hotel. Very comfortable beds, very clean. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Cons: The lift from the car park was broken had to carry suitcases up three flights of stairs to get from the car park to reception. The car park is under the hotel. They didn’t have my booking but “found a room” this was disappointing has we had been booked months in advance. Had a 4th floor attic room which felt cramped with sloping roof and not the superior room I booked. Tried to charge me £290 a room not the £232 on the booking. Good job I had the booking on the booking.com app as proof. I booked breakfast but when we went to breakfast was told that we were not on the list for breakfast and they had to “find” a table. The staff were very nice and helpful and sorted everything thing out but it really should not have had to have been sorted out, in the first place. Just a bit disappointing and we felt we had to check everything, so we actually got what we had booked and didn’t get overcharged.

9.2 Excellent

Pros: It was nice clean and excellent location

Cons: The bar fridge was nor well stocked and the room did not have milk and other standard items expected. It was if the room was not ready or properly serviced. Expect way more from that price. Breakfast was weak. Nothing special and i got better breakfast at hotels half the price.

Pros: Spacious suite living room, separate half guest bath, Decent breakfast with separate order menu, gym had free weights to 30kg, location is on royal mile down road from castle (but for Christmas markets and shopping, a princess street hotel would been better), overall friendly staff.

Cons: 1. For a royal mile suite, main bathroom was standard. Overly spacious living room really could’ve spared space for a more comfortable bathroom befitting suite.
2. Website advertised kids eat free. However, when we ordered meals for the kids via room service, we were told it’s not free. Extremely deceptive and off putting of brand.
3. I emailed the hotel 1 week in advance of 4-day stay and asked for milk, orange juice, and water in room stocked and included room mini fridge. Email from customer service acknowledged request and even confirmed we still wanted wine and beer - a nice catch! However, when we arrived, we were informed juice and milk not included. False service promise should’ve not been made.
Room service food was Not worth price (pizza, burger, and kids chicken meal were only ok but far more expensive than eaterery options all around).

Cons: Expensive bar and breakfast. Most people just walked up the road about 100m and saved a fortune.

8.8 Excellent

Pros: Great location. I paid for an upgrade and the room was large as a result. Nice architecture on the outside.

Cons: The view of Arthur's seat was obscured by an arcane double glazing system. Inside, the hotel feels like a big chain hotel, so not much character. Breakfast buffet was pretty poor.

9.2 Excellent

Pros: The location was excellent and the room was spacious. The staff were helpful.

Cons: The adjoining door between suites was not soundproof and Mr Next door woke me at 6am coughing which continued for several hours.

Cons: First room we were given was right on a very loud busy road where we were kept up by traffic, people and bins at night. That room also had a std double bed and no room to pass around it or dress. The air con didn’t work well either. For our second night they moved us to a room overlooking the courtyard which had a queen sized bed, much more room and was lovely and quiet. The moral? As for a room overlooking the courtyard.

The friendly smile that welcomes you at check-in will become a regular feature during your stay. There’s always someone on hand to help make your stay unique and memorable.

Pros: Rooms were lovely and beds very comfy. Bathroom very modern and shower was amazing.

Cons: Requested an iron in the room prior to arrival but it wasn't there.
The heating came on at 6am and was very noisy. This woke my partner and I up and we couldn't get back to sleep with the noise.
The tea/coffee machine in the room did not work.
Left my straighteners behind in the room but when I contacted the hotel to enquire about this they said they checked and they were not there. That is a mystery to me.

Apex Grassmarket is located in the heart of Old Town Edinburgh with large en suite bedrooms with complimentary Wi-Fi, 42" LCD TV's and Elemis toiletries. The hotel has a swimming pool, sauna and Technogym, a car park and a glass-fronted restaurant with stunning Edinburgh Castle views. There are seven meeting and event spaces that will suit more formal business needs or weddings and larger events in the Heights space on the fifth floor with unforgettable views of Edinburgh.
You'll love the castle views from the hotel and the fact that within a few minutes you can be on the Royal Mile, or exploring the National Museum of Scotland or even sipping a coffee at The Elephant House - the café where J K Rowling began writing some of her early Harry Potter work.

Cons: Wasn't so enamoured with teenage street drinkers under bridge outside hotel on Sunday afternoon kicking off with each other ! Along with the street beggars it doesn't reflect well on Edinburgh as a tourist destination .Last visited Edinburgh 1990 and it was not like that then ,but then again my home city has deteriorated since then . The hotel bar could maybe be a bit more extensive , as most pubs have restrictions regarding under 18's but would recommend The Tolbooth Tavern on Canongate as Child Friendly until 10pm .

Pros: Location just off the Royal Mile and within easy reach of Castle, Station and all the attractions in central Edinburgh. Location probably determines price. Good kitchen facilties along with gym, laundry and ice making facilities. The room was very spacious (Junior suite)

Cons: Room cleaning - laminate floor and carpets not cleaned during our 4 night stay despite asking at reception on first day. We moved the settee and the debris under it was there on day one and still there when we left. Also had to keep asking for replacement toiletries and coffee etc. The other areas were spotlessly clean e.g bathroom.

7.0 Good

Pros: -Wonderful staff! -Loved the tub and the towel warmer -Great location in Old Town

Cons: -There were no dressers in our room which made it difficult to stay comfortably for a week -WiFi was out for an entire day, which happens, but sucked while overseas without phone service and relying on WiFi for looking up where to eat

Pros: Liked everything overall however our window was covered with small dead flies so a little unhappy with this but just took 1 minute to clean which we did. The only thing that we would have liked was a window that opened as it was warm and the room was therefore a little stuffy. Admittedly there was Air-conditioning but didn’t want that on all night.

Pros: Absolutely brilliant property and signature Hilton service. Perfect location right at the Royal Mile

Cons: Two things 1. The parking is actually in Edinburgh Waverley Train Station which is a bit of a walk if you have heavy luggage. This should have been clearly mentioned. Also, the hotel validation of the overnight parking took off just 3 GBP of the total parking fee. Could have been better. 2. The lounge staff weren’t exactly cheerful around 10:30 PM. I can understand it’s late but it costs nothing to wear a smile while handing over the drink the customer paid for. A bit weird point since the reception and restaurant staff were amazing, as I would expect from Hilton.

Cons: I think for international guests who fly in overnight an option for early checkin would be great even if it cost additional. We wanted to freshen up and had to use a restroom in the restaurant in the hotel which was not a great option.

The only thing that we would have liked was a window that opened as it was warm and the room was therefore a little stuffy. Admittedly there was Air-conditioning but didn’t want that on all night.

Cons: For the money we paid to stay here I expected a bit more, it was basic nothing special about the room, we have stayed in a premier in and the room we stayed in was just like one of theirs, the shower had lots of mould all around the bottom where it’s sealed and all up the wall, and at least two of the floor tiles where loose they moved when you stood on them and you could see one of them was lifted before you even stood on it, definitely needs fixing. It’s a good idea to bring all your own body wash and things like that you get tiny bottles of shampoo etc and it really is only enough for two showers, no slippers or dressing gowns, you should have slippers at least as the bathroom is tiled and cold on your feet

Pros: The location was excellent and the room ‘looked’ wonderful in a new building. Great breakfast.

Cons: The room was very cold (heater not turned on and no instructions as to how to operate it). No extra blankets were provided so we has a sleepless cold night. The phone to contact the staff in the middle of the night was not functioning either. The safe for the storage of valuables did not have any locking mechanisms. Very disappointing due to the above concerns. Definitely not value for money.

Pros: Excellent location, very clean, great design incorporating the old building walls. Very clear instructions on how to reach the apartment. Highly recommended!

3.3 Mediocre

Pros:

Cons: This was our worst hotel experience ever. The hotel has been shown on the website as being a five star accommodation. The price (1.419 GBP for 5 nights) seemed therefore good and had to be payed in advance. Usually not a problem - we only had good experiences with booking.com and their partner hotels in the past. However, the room that we were given upon arrival was unacceptable: first floor window facing the backyard with a bar, noisy, dark, worn out furniture and bath room fittings, wall paper coming from the wall, dirty, torn curtains, WiFi not working properly - an unacceptable accomodation! There is no reception but there was also nobody available by phone in the five hours after our arrival when we tried to find an alternative. As we were not willing to stay in that dark and dirty room, we decided to leave after five hours waiting for a reply from the hotel. We hope that booking.com helps us to fight such unacceptable conditions and supports us in getting our money back.

5.4 Okay

Pros: Great location!

Cons: Our room was up four flights of stairs of a circular staircase which difficult with luggage so pack light! This is really an apartment with no staff on premises. Our room was hot and only had one windows so while it was comfortable outside, it was hot inside. The pillows were terrible and we asked for an extra pillow and a fan and were denied. BUYER BEWARE

10.0 Excellent

Pros: The place is in the middle of everything, you can walk around the city or go to Edinburgh castle

Cons: We stay at 4th fl with 29” and 26” of the luggage, if anyone has a big luggage you need to prepare yourself to carry the luggage to 4th fl.

4.8 Okay

Pros: If you like being in the middle of the tourist trap it is perfect.

Cons: They are not up front about several things. First there is no one at the place to handle problems. No desk, no phone number. Just email. Second, the only way to get in is by a terrible spiral stone staircase, so it is very hard to get large suitcases up. Third, when I made the reservation they immediately charged me and sent an email that I would be on the fourth floor. I made the reservation months in advance and I asked them to move me to a lower floor. They said they couldn't, but if they could it would cost 10 euros. Very hard to deal with. They also do not provide maid service unless you pay another 17 euros per day! Also no place to leave your luggage because its not a hotel. Finally, I have some serious concerns about the integrity of the apartments. The floors slope and there is serious signs of cracking and sag. At these prices, you are far better booking elsewhere!

4.6 Okay

Pros: The bed

Cons: No storage for ANYTHING No fridge' only a wine cooler that wouldn't go below 20 degrees! Pots under the sink which had a leak so all damp.

3.3 Mediocre

Pros: We liked little about this property. The location was good in general but inconvenient for us considering we were not there for the fringe festival.

Cons: The owners were unresponsive. The property has many health and safety issues including a broken glass window. The instructions say there are stairs and no lift but they don’t mention the terribly steep and narrow old stone staircase with only a rope to hold onto and we were on the fourth floor! The apartment we had was tiny - one small bedroom just big enough for a bed, and a tiny sitting room with one basic futon sofa for seating. Our reservation included a bed for my kids which turned out to be the futon sofa in the sitting room which was unmade when we arrived. There was a sheet provided that the owners should be ashamed by. The ONE sheet provided was as thin as can be and totally worn out with hair on it. The duvet had no cover and had hair on it as well. There was no protector to use under it so essentially my kids slept on a hard and filthy futon. The bathroom is tiny and the shower was decayed where it meets the bottom so the water flowed out while showering. Speaking of showering, there were only a couple hard thin towels supplied. The one good thing about this property is the Wi-fi. There were several codes displayed on the wall and once we found the right one, the signal was strong. I have pictures of the broken window, the sheet, duvet, and staircase and shower will post them here.

4.6 Okay

Pros: Location only

Cons: Poor linen on the bed. Pillows awful and only 2 flat and hard ones. Only 1 towel for 2 people. No tea towels for drying the dishes. Mould in the shower. Dirty ironing cover

Pros: The location is so good, especially during the fringe. Having a locker in the room was great, but you need your own padlock. There were also key lockers for storing luggage before or after staying there. You can use them for free once during your stay, after that it's only £1. USB socket next to each bed was great. For the price I paid the hostel was all-round amazing. I'll be staying again for sure.

Cons: There was construction happening so close very early in the morning and the doors should not bang so loudly. That could be adjusted considering how many comes and goes at different times of the day

7.9 Good

Pros: The staff was generally friendly. Location and beds are excellent.

Cons: Karoline is a bit rude staff. The construction make an enormous noisy from 7:30, impossible to sleep after this.

Pros: Great location in the old town. Wide range of refreshments on offer in the vending machines and bar

Cons: Hostels are usually either overheated or freezing. This one was the latter. To top it all, I woke up with a cold as someone had decided to open the window at night. The shower is one of those annoying ones where the jet lasts 10 seconds and it's a footer to shower as you're constantly pressing the button. As with all hostels, not enough toilets and not enough space to practically put your stuff, neither in the room nor the shower

8.8 Excellent

Pros: Wonderful bar area, TV screens, pool tables etc.

Cons: The bathrooms and showers.

8.8 Excellent

Pros: The price for Edinburgh is amazing, and it was a fairly safe location.

Cons: Location was a bit far from the train station, but that is just location. However, if they provided a path for those with larger cases to take sloping roads instead of stairs it would have been a bit easier to get to the hostel.

Cons: The room was not cleaned daily, there was someone staying there how came drunk and puked, but they didn't clean the room the next day, there were always problems with the toilet papers in the bathrooms of the room, the room was not well ventilated so it smelled most of the time, there were not enough wall connectors for charging your phone, one of the ones next to the table didn't work.

8.8 Excellent

Pros: Good rooms and lockers, compared to some other hotels, and decent wifi. Great central location for the Fringe. Generally friendly staff (one exception).

Cons: The kitchen facilities really weren't useable because the refrigerators were packed to the gills. Probably because of huge Fringe crowd - might be better when it isn't so crowded. The room was very warm and windows could only be opened a small amount. Although they provided a fan when I requested one, it couldn't be used because there were no outlets that weren't in someone's bunk. A little awkward for people in top bunk to need to get inside bottom bunk curtain to access their power outlet.

Pros: The location was great.

Excellent9.6

Pros: Excellent location close to train station and town attractions, friendly and helpful staff, great pub/dining in house. Each bed had curtains which were fantastic! Communal showers and toilets available if ensuite bathroom got busy during mornings etc.

Cons: 18 people capacity room with no AC. The room and the "chillout" space were humid and "musky/sweaty". They aren't available 24/7 (unlike what they claim) so if you need to suddenly cancel in early morning you are out of luck. There is loud music playing until 1 am, good luck falling asleep. Booked for 7 nights, stayed only 1. Left on the second night because it was impossible to sleep. Tried cancelling and getting a refund - they have a policy that they don't do cancellations during the fringe festival and you need to inform them 72 hours prior. Told the person at the desk I want to cancel, gave back my card. Came back to my home city 3 hours away, wrote them an email. Still didn't get it cancelled. The nice people at booking.com customer service managed to get them to refund my last day. Avoid if you have trouble sleeping at nights, or have any kind of respiratory problems. Do not stay longer than 1 day.

Cons: As a celiac I think they should improve the gluten-free options and take more care about this. There is a luggage room but if you are in the last floor it's not comfortable going to the first floor to leave the bag there, and in the bedroom the lockets can't be closed with a padlocker. But I left my bag in the bedroom as everybody and obviously it's safe.

7.5 Good

Pros: The location is fantastic. Also, free laundry service is good as they provided drying machine. There are small lockers in room Remember bring your own locker. You can pay for larger locker downstairs for your luggage.

Cons: The chill out room is a bit smelly. The route to the locker room is not completely accessible and the locker is not very user-friendly. Someone may put something on your bed when you left so covering it with curtain is better.

Excellent9.4

Pros: Right off the Royal Mile, this hotel couldn't be in a better place. Comfortable, clean rooms with great views.
Funny British ways about electricity - you have to put a hotel key in to a special reader inside the room to turn on the electricity in the room. They really don't want you to leave the lights on when you're not there, I guess.
Perfect spot for our stay.

Cons: We stayed in two different rooms. The second room had a bathroom that needed some work. It was clean, but some towel bars were showing rust, and the tile needed to be re-caulked.

Cons: Needed a bit of TLC

3.1 Mediocre

Pros: The reception area looks swanky but it’s a fur coat and no underwear. Good location for Old and New town

Cons: Room was a time machine from the 90’s
Shower didn’t work because of ‘pressure issues’. The same ‘pressure issues’ also meant the the hot water failed to come out of the taps unless they were fully opened for at least five minutes and then it took a good 15 minutes to fill the shallow bath. The maintenance man said this was always an issue on the third floor particularly in the morning because everyone was using the water.
Husband had to rescue something from under the sagging couch and wish he’d left it there - disgustingly filthy and left us feeling queasy that we’d been in the same room as that level of filth. Probably not been moved since the 90’s...
Relative to other hotels it’s a cheaper option but not cheap enough - I’d have paid a bit more for a consistent hot water supply and a room that had been deep cleaned in the last decade.
